Known For: A national functional medicine network with a Tampa location led by Dr. Shilpa Saxena, MD — combining ketamine-assisted therapy with integrative medicine including gut health, hormone optimization, and regenerative treatments.
HealingMaps Take: Forum Health Tampa stands apart by embedding ketamine within a full functional medicine framework. Patients dealing with depression or anxiety alongside chronic health issues like gut dysfunction or hormonal imbalances may benefit from this whole-body approach rather than a standalone ketamine clinic.

Patient Questions about Forum Health
This 3-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Forum Health treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
Does Forum Health offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)?
Yes — Forum Health offers KAP, which combines ketamine dosing with structured psychotherapy during the dissociative window. KAP sessions are longer than standalone infusions and priced accordingly. A reasonable consult question: whether KAP is delivered by a single integrated provider, or by a separate therapist working with the prescribing clinician.
Is Forum Health suited for treatment-resistant depression?
Forum Health treats depression via KAP for trauma-anchored depression. Insurance coverage is rare for IV/KAP — most patients pay out of pocket. TRD is typically defined as two or more prior antidepressant trials without sufficient response — patients meeting that bar are best candidates here.
Can Forum Health help with anxiety disorders?
Yes — Forum Health treats anxiety, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder. The evidence base for ketamine in anxiety is less robust than for depression, but it can be a meaningful option for patients who haven’t responded to SSRIs or benzodiazepines. Worth asking which of their protocols they typically recommend for anxiety-primary patients.
